Serendipity Sundays ~ Serving others

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

I’m so glad that Roxanne Ford with Austin Title made a monthly commitment to bring a group to volunteer at the Central Texas Food Bank. I’ve made it a priority to volunteer. This month we went to a Mobile Pantry located at Turner Roberts Recreation Center and directly handed out 6,000 pounds of food to 101 people and what a “get it done crew” we had! The serving line moved well with everyone taking a station. We had several strong guys to help the people out with their food.

The recipients were delightful and full of gratitude for all the fresh vegetables and food that was available this week. The fresh vegetables came from the Texas Correctional Institution where inmates work the gardens. I remembered some of them from previous shifts and made me remember why I enjoy volunteering so much.

As Phyllis Diller said "A smile is a curve that sets everything straight."

Whenever I'm in a grocery store I often wonder why anyone would go hungry in this country. Supposedly 1 in 6 Americans are suffering every day from hunger. I'm certain your 101 guests were smiling frm ear to ear after this gracious event. Hats off to "The Crew" for adding so, so many helping hands to those in need.

Dorie,

What a wonderful way to volunteer and give back.  And 6,000 pounds is amazing.  At the Farmers Market by 1PM, the majority of the farmers give away what was not sold to those that cannot afford to buy.  A
